Nadhi Shodhana Pranayama - Alternate Nostril Breathing

09:53

Nadhi Shodhana Pranayama - Alternate Nostril Breathing

Nadhi Shodhana Pranayama or Alternate Nostril Breathing is practiced to purify and clear the mind and body. By alternating the breath from one side to the other we bring a sense of equilibrium to the right and left nostrils (as we tend to favour one side over the other) and also to the right and left hemispheres of the brain, balancing out our masculine and feminine energies. Similar to the Anulom Vilom breath that we have practiced in previous videos (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e63yRN98rI&t=269s) however, in Nadhi Shodhana we add a hold after the inhalation.... Watch and follow carefully - all will be explained :) This breath - Reduces stress - by taking us into our parasympathetic nervous system. - Infuses the body and mind with oxygen - Supports a strong immune system - Can help with allergies and respiratory issues. Nadi Shodhana should not be practiced while suffering from cold, flu or fever. Enjoy and let me know how you get on in the comments below.

Breathing Meditation (12.30 mins)

Breathing Meditation (12.30 mins)

In this breathing meditation you will learn to master the breath through very simple counts. You may find you can breathe longer than these counts but be disciplined with this count system and if you want to try longer breaths then try some of my other videos listed below. When we are truly connected to the breath, we are fully present. Our body then begins to move into the parasympathetic nervous system and starts to let go of the cortisol and stress hormones it had stored. The body will then flood with the good hormones and endorphins such as oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine. In this state it is impossible to feel anxious or stressed. We also build strength in the respiratory system which helps our immune system to operate more efficiently. Please do SUBSCRIBE it really does help me to bring you more content.
